- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NIHLM2015631 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation /contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-82. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 with a size standard of 500. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Digestive, Diabetes & Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has a requirement to procure Optica Environmental Sensor. Human metabolic rate can be calculated from the rate at which a person consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. This can be measured in a specialized human metabolic chamber by measuring the changes in the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the room air over time when the room is occupied by a human subject. A number of on-going clinical protocols use the metabolic chamber as the primary tool to measure changes in human metabolism in response to various pharmaceutical agents, disease states, dietary interventions, or environmental conditions. A necessary condition for this measurement is consistent environmental conditions in and around the metabolic chamber. Currently, there are 3 GE Optica Sensors installed in metabolic chamber setup and they are necessary for monitoring the environmental conditions within the metabolic chamber. The sensors were purchased in 2007 and 2008, as the metabolic chambers were being constructed, and several are in need of replacement. We would like to purchase backup/replacement sensors in the event of failure due to overuse/age of the current sensors. The requirement listed is requested to submit a capability statement to assist the Government in determining in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.502-2(b) whether or not this procurement will be set-aside for any of the programs described above.
